English and Bike Shops don't always Mix

So I am sure that many of you know Jeffers but, many of you don't know that Jeffers is our resident English Major. We wish him all the best with his studies!

1). What was your first adult bicycle?
An IRO fixed gear from my brother. He had cross-threaded the bottom bracket, so I was perpetually tightening both it and all of my chainring bolts, and there were times when I had lost two of the chainring bolts and didn't realize it til after the ride...sold it and got an old Italian steel frame that had been in the Tour de France. Good stuff.

2). What will be your next bike?

Hmm..either a big fat cruiser or the Bianchi Roger with the Surly Dingle Cog, or maybe just a Cross-Check.

3). What is your favorite place to ride?

Oakland/Shadyside area on the fixie...Heartwood and Bavington are fun for the woods.

4). What is the Ultimate place to ride?

Umm...intersection of Forbes Ave and Bigelow Boulevard around 11:52 AM, during Pitt's class changes. If you run the yellow/red light, people are already starting to cross in the opposite direction, so you get to cut through the 1-2 foot gaps between oblivious crossing pedestrians at 10 mph.

5). How many bike do you currently own?

1..2..3..4..5..and a unicycle.

6). Spandex or Baggy shorts?

Spandex, but I mostly ride in jeans.

7). What is your favorite post-ride food?

Vera Cruz burrito.

8). When was the last time you rode your bike?

Thursday...it's Sunday now.

9). Who is your favorite riding partner?

Soupie, Mike McCracken, or Brian Reyburn, in that order.

10) Do you prefer a water bottle or a hydration pack?

Camelbak MULE.
